Mad As Hell And Not Gonna Fake It Anymore
You’re Free Republic founder Jim Robinson and you’ve drawn a line in the sand:
If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do?
It cannot be denied that the central government has become destructive of our unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and our rights to live free. The government is no longer responsive to we the People. They have stretched and shredded the constitution to the point that they have illegally seized for themselves virtually unlimited powers over the citizens and act as if we have no rights and no powers of our own. They are acting without our consent.
Our Founders established that when our government becomes destructive of our rights then it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
We have reached the point where the government’s long train of abuses and usurpations has achieved absolute Despotism, therefore it is our right, it is our duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future security.
Therefore, We the People of America choose to exercise our right to throw off and alter the abusive government by peacefully recalling and removing from office the President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States and all U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives effective immediately.
Ah, teh Internets. It wasn’t so long ago that such inchoate rage was scribbled free-hand in composition books for no eyes to recoil from but those of the crime scene investigators. In the past, you might self-publish, but that was costly and brought its own set of perils. A popular alternative was to mail one’s personal madness to media gatekeepers who might be coerced into reprinting it … or might not be. Now, thanks to historical revisionism, we have a state-of-the-art series of tubes that bypasses the New York Times editorial board entirely and plunks your petulant manifesto on the flat-panel displays of like-minded folk across the country, so that you might all rise up in your tens and demand satisfaction from the jug-eared Kenyan interloper who gamed the Constitution with un-American teleprompter-fu to steal a presidential election with a majority of the votes.
Welcome to the Information Age! Where the voices in your head may freely converse with the digital avatars of similar paranoids who reside thousands of miles from your bunker! Where you may openly declare your sworn duty to defend the Founders’ intent from the peaceful and legal transition of power that threatens to destroy their vision of government by, for and of the people … to boldly resist a naked democratic power grab by popularly elected charlatans who use the cherished ideals of our forefathers against us … and at long last, to summon the courage to knock over the Monopoly board of life and stomp off in a tantrum when your political opponents piss all over the rules of the game by following them, and somehow manage to get a hotel on Park Place.
Of course, to make a wingnut omelette, you’ve got to break a few Constitutional eggs … destroy the document in order to save it, etc.:
We hereby repeal the 17th amendment.
The central government has expanded well beyond the limits established for it by the founders and pay for that expansion by directly taxing the people and severely restricting our rights through an enslaving income tax.
We hereby repeal the 16th amendment.
The IRS and all sub departments and agencies are hereby dissolved, disbanded and closed.
All deliciously irrational — but you’re troubled. Your chicken scratch ravings were just peachy for muttering aloud to frightened relatives on the rare occasions that you dragged yourself out of the basement for a family gathering. And your Freepii followers are naturally on board, but you suspect their disembodied replies may just be the product of your fevered imagination anyway. And you wonder, are your words soaring enough to inspire real, live human beings who are not forced to humor you? It’s a quandary, so you summon what last vestiges of socialization you still possess from the days before stranger danger overwhelmed you, and appeal to the pixelated voices that have provided you comfort in the past:
Need lots of help with this document, folks. Please chime in.
There — that wasn’t so hard, was it? And let it be a lesson to all creepy lone-wolf types … Freeper honcho Jim Robinson’s cry for help was met with a tidal wave of constructive criticism for his call-to-arms and the million-wingnut march on Washington he assumes will result from its widespread publication:
‘We need General James Mattoon Scott,’ recommends one Freeper cinephile going by the handle buccaneer81, despite the march being planned for one day in September and not seven in May. It’s also possible that Jack Bauer was not available to lead the protest.
‘The parallels with 1775 are fairly exact (also parallels with Germany in the 30’s as well),’ chimes in the historically minded 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten. True that — back then, they got us with ‘taxation without representation’ and this time around it comes with, but other than that, it’s exactly the same (and the liberal thugs know it, too — we overheard one saying as much at a beer hall putsch just last week).
Others are worried about the dreaded Obama death camps. ‘One of the concerns that I’ve expressed, is getting us all in one place. With the insanity going on, what in your opinion, would prevent this monster from calling in armed troops/thugs and killing us, or at the very least, herding us into prisons where we would never see the light of day again?’ frets Outlaw Woman.
Another Freeper, lula, also expresses some reservations at first, but in the end, well, fuck it: ‘I would love for this to happen, but I’m afraid the unemployment would quadruple since so many work for the government. Then we would have riots and chaos, never the less where do I sign.’
Nervous nellies aside, the dialogue soon turns to strategy. Perhaps Robinson’s nascent movement could benefit from a bit of cosplay and an appeal to the South Asian community, suggests mission9: ‘I think we should try non-violence first. How about a revolutionary fife and drum march of knee sock, powdered wig patriots, followed by a Mohatmed Ghandi stand in, wearing a diaper and carrying a walking stick.’
Pampers or Huggies, whichever’s on sale at the Piggly Wiggly … but a tactical decision will have to be made as to whether the ‘Ghandi’ stand-in should shit himself for effect during the march on Washington.
But as the excitement grows, the conversation takes on a more ominous tone:
“Be ready. The traitors will give you no quarter. Give them none,” warns Enoughofthissocialism.
Later, it is determined that pre-emptive action may be required to counter ‘the traitors.’ Unfortunate, perhaps, but according to Hotlead61, that doesn’t mean such action can’t also be fun — so he helpfully offers to organize a contest for Freepers to murder Robinson’s critics.
The list of said critics certainly won’t include us. For our part, we think Jim Robinson’s manifesto is an instant classic — wouldn’t change a thing. Our favorite bit — the unilateral repeal of Constitutional amendments on the basis of absolutely zero in the way of actual Constitutional process — alone shoots this one to the very top of the wingnut manifesto pantheon, toppling this awful piece of shit.
And we never, ever thought that could happen.

But no! wait! Its a trap!
Using what I learned in GOP Econ 101, the more you cut taxes, the less money the government gets, and the more the economy grows and then the revenues of the government increase. With me so far? This is a law as proven as gravitiy.
If we eliminate ALL the taxes and the IRS, we will be giving NO money to the government, which means THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE ALL THE MONEY!!
Think about it people! Jim Robinson is the ultimate socialist!

Whenever my wingnut uncle starts raving about the government taking his freedoms away, I just start asking him “What freedoms have they taken from you?” over and over again, until he finally admits that they haven’t actually done anything, but they COULD! AND THEY WANT TO! I JUST KNOW IT!
In one of these situations, he framed the tax incentives you get from buying a hybrid as “the government forcing you to buy a certain type of car”. Given that construction, what imagined offense might this guy be talking about, specifically?

It cannot be denied that the central government has become destructive of our unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and our rights to live free.

We the people my ass. You and your tiny, crazy, butthurt minority lost a legal fucking election. Remember when losing elections had consequences? One of those consequences is that the losers don’t get to declare they won times infinity, that the winners must give you the ball and go home, and that the rules aren’t what 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of the states have ratified but whatever you and your junior league decide.

They gasp about the camps, but wouldn’t a Vaterland free from scary Negros and accordion-loving Latinos be their fondest wish? Hell, they could keep their guns, and their trans-fats, and do whatever pleases them.

WHEREBY we have hereby reached the point whereas the moonbat government’s long train of abuses and usurpations [sic] has achieved absolute Despotism, and;
WHEREBY the ‘root cause’ of Islamo-communo-fascist Acorno-terrorism lies in the animating politico-religious ideas of fundamentalist Alinskyian Jihado-teleprompterism and not in any significant respect elsewhere, and that a central aim of the War Against Birth Certificate Forgerianism must be to displace and discredit those animating ideas;
WE THEREFORE DECLARE hereby and wherefore that the Very Pillars Of Valhalla doth shake with Our Patriotic Fury and sooth, so shall the Vexations of Our Lamentations be heard in the frosty reaches of Titan herself and other Cruel Moons, forthwith and hereby and whereas and forsooth shall the Hounds of Hell’s Ninth and Most Unpleasant Circle be loosed upon every last Traitor in the Land, be they Orc or Goblin or San Francisco Democrat or Voluptuous Breast-Plated Amazon Warrior Queen Straddling A Dragon.

My favorite game for the last 8 long years, has been “What if a Democrat had done that?” You can take your pick from the most egregious (“What if a Democratic president had lied us into an unjustified war?”) to the most trivial (“What if Bill Clinton had given the female head of a major NATO ally an impromptu neck rub?”). Then just sit back and imagine the outrage from the likes of Limbaugh, O’Reilly, etc. Now try this: What if, in, say, 2003 or 2004, someone like Moveon.org or Kos had published a similar manifesto on its website? Even if it had been some pseudonymous rant buried somewhere in the middle of an open comment thread, The Righteous Gasbags would be demanding that the author be arrested for treason, shot by a firing squad, then tried, convicted, tortured, drawn, quartered, hanged and then shot again.

I just found this takedown of primo cobag Orson Scott Card a few days ago.
Back to Lovecraft’s ghouls “meeping and glibbering” (being OCD about HPL, even though I’ve never played CoC, I re-read the pertinent parts of DQoUK last night)- we all know that conservatives are ghouls, so we can define these terms.
“Meeping” is a portmanteau word composed of “me” and “sheep”, it refers to characterizations that one is acting in one’s self-interest while one is actually acting on behalf of the one’s exploiters. The prime example of meeping is Not-Joe the Not-Plumber’s tirade against his strawman characterization of BHO’s tax proposals.
“Glibbering” is a portmanteau composed of “glib” and “gibbering”, and refers to a not-quite-facile manipulation of words in order to distort their definition so a given word can be applied to one’s opponents, no matter how inappropriate. The prime example of “glibbering” is DP’s Liberal Fascism.

It turned out that the architects weren’t quite up on the concept of slanging, and our innocent little jibes (Hey asshole, your fly’s open.) caused them psychic pain. enough that they kept high-sticking us.

Lurker, say that you did get invited to the cool kid’s table. You would suddenly start having lots of money for clothes and be much more attractive, although in a slightly porn star way that is a little disturbing on a 15-year-old, but then your old friends would keep on lurking in the background, only showing up during montages and making you feel a little guilty. Then eventually something terrible would happen and you would realize what a horrible little shit you turned into once you became popular, and your real friends would turn out to be the people from the beginning, even though they hated you for awhile, so in the end you would go back to being a nerdy lurker, only for some reason you would get to keep the clothes and makeup.

Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.
“Pathetic,” he said. “That’s what it is. Pathetic.”
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
“As I thought,” he said. “No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that’s what it is.”

Exactly so. A Manly Man manfesto to galvanize (literally, to coat (iron or steel) with rust-resistant zinc) manly men (and womanly women?–ed.) into stiff legged motion as they swing their zinc coated legs into an awkward cadence as the breast the last rise that brings Our Nation’s Capital into view.

I’m too much of a lazy twat to read all the comments here, but has anyone plucked this gleaming jewel from among the gems in the Ur-Freep’s comments?
”If I’m marching on Washington, I’m gonna bear arms.”
I don’t think we’re at that point quite yet. We need to show up with toy guns or cardboard/foam ones first. One million angry Patriots holding fake evil black rifles held high over our heads screaming for their heads would literally scare the crap out of them.
The D.C. sewer system would clog up so tight that it would take a nuclear powered Roto-Rooter to clear the pipes.
If that didn’t work, THEN we take it to the next step.
Anybody else reveling in the insight this offers into the wingnut mind? The child-like desire to frighten people with fierce display is the least of it; there’s the infantile obsession with excrement as an emotional signifier, the “…toy guns or cardboard/foam ones,” which reveals the essential timidity of these people (“If they’re fake guns, nobody can arrest us, right?”) and also the obsessive/ compulsive attention to irrelevant detail (trying to suggest materials for making fake guns, as if this was a school play). The actual mental picture I get when I picture one million angry patriots (Patriots, sorry) holding fake evil black rifles held high over their heads just about slays me. If I were the DC police, I wouldn’t know whether to laugh until I puked, or shoot them.
And then, just when I think a comment can’t get any better, there’s If that didn’t work, THEN we take it to the next step. Ooooh, ferocious! Thunder on, Garth! Any guesses what the next step might be? Throwing fistfuls of loose tea in the air? Shouting “I hate you Mr. Poopy!” at the White House?

This may not be the least of it. Will they wear large masks to frighten the enemy demons? Perhaps large golden crosses as talismans? (…talismen? talipeople? whatever…) Play drums to send spirits back to the underworld? Wave their genitalia – such as they are – as a sign of warning?
I foresee many doctoral theses in sociology and anthropology in the making.

Unlike the Oakland Black Panthers, when they marched on Sacramento with real rifles, and fuck da man…
“The party first attracted attention in May 1967 when it protested a bill to outlaw carrying loaded weapons in public. Reporters quickly gathered around the contingent of protesters, who had marched on the California state capital in Sacramento armed with weapons and wearing the party’s distinctive black leather jackets and black berets. After Seale read a statement, police arrested him and 30 others.” [Encarta]
This certainly underscores one basic difference between radical leftist protesters and right wingnut “protesters”. One type has the courage of their convictions (a tradition that goes back to the Vietnam moratoriums, the civil rights marches, the union strikes of the 1930s, etc, etc, etc…) and the other are whiny-ass titty babies with toy rifles.

Has zombie shop-talk replaced fun with the pun as the preferred method of S,N! thread death? (Mind you, I’m not complaining.)

Now, when we get to zombie punning, then we’ve reached critical mass in thread murderdeathkill.

This is transparently just election butthurt (and you do not want to know what can be seen through transparent butthurt).
You know, it’s funnier if you take a look at what they are actually proposing. Let’s put on the magical Freeper-world glasses (eeewww, smells like POOP) and track through the consequences of The Entire US Federal Government closing up shop, firing everyone, and then enacting the measure proposed by angry internets trolls.
1. Preznit “Interim CEO” Hillary.
2. “Interim Senate” elected by State Legislatures – ending up with a partisan make-up of 70D-30R.
3. New elections for the House. Polling (although this is dominated by “unbiased” Rasmussen) indicates > possible shrinkage of the Dem majority – but a Democratic majority nonetheless.
4. The entirety of the rest of the incoherent ranting is basically the Michele Bachmann Theory of the US Constitution. i.e. Despite their so-called Federalist position, they want to abolish any institution without a Constitutional basis (except the frigging ginormous standing army). Hey douchewads, Geithner even managed to answer this one correctly. All those institutions you’re railing against are authorized by your very own precious Article One – i.e. Acts of Congress.
So, net effect? 10 more Democratic senators at the expense of ten or so Democratic Representatives & Preznit Hillary. Somehow I don’t think this is going to slow Health Care reform down very much.
Actually, looking at it more closely, this is really all about throwing the bums out and burning this shit to the ground. There’s no real plan for afterwards, just anti-establishment nihlism. Sign me up!

The thinking is that they then get to go out and shoot brown people patriotically.

The idea of wingnuts parading down the Mall with an armload of foam guns made tears of joy (and blood) squirt out of my eyes.
I think it would be much more intimidating if they all armed themselves with potato(e) guns and marshmallow shooters painted black. Then they have snacks for when they get hungry. Also.

Wow, that “Lurker Representative” was really a self-pitying whiner. Hell, I consider myself a n00b around here, and I have found the regulars to be a warm and welcoming bunch.
I can just imagine the Freeper march, in the heat of late-summer DC… they’ll be screaming for socialized medicine as quickly as one can say “heatstroke”.

“If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do?”
If I won the Powerball lottery, what would I do?
More to the point, when is Hollywood going to do the Jim Robinson story? Who’ll play him? I’m thinking John Goodman could do a good a credible JimRob. Maybe do a hybrid reality/comedy series on FR – ala ‘The Office’. Lets call it “The Basement’. We have to get Dwight Shrute written into this. Let the creative geniuses at FR supply the story lines. Here’s one of my personal favorites (perhaps the inspiration for JimRob’s screed?):
Patriot Action Plan

1)Hug your conservative wife and conservative children. Jettison all liberal or Rino leaning children. 2) Buy more firearms and ammunition 3) Buy bullion ( Silver rounds appear to be best value) 4) Turn off your TV. Ingest no media other than FR. 5) Rediscover yourself, not in a washed out hippie looking at your life’s devastation way, but review your accomplishments. You are a valued member of FR society. 6) Obtain Crusade outfit/ Store 7) Buy a new American Flag 8) Read a book on the American revolution. Adams or Angle in the Whilwind. 9) Go to Barnes and Noble and take out all the subscription cards to Time and Newsweek and mail them in for processing. It costs them $4 to process each piece of litter. 10) Await The Call. Somebody important must step up and make it.
